Disney Vacation Other Disney

MouseSavers.com - Working with a Travel Agent Great deals on all things Disney! Find out how to save on: Walt Disney World Disneyland Disney Cruise Line Transportation for Your Disney Vacation Other Disney Travel Savings Discount Disney Shopping Mall Live Disney Shows Disney Freebies Disneyland Resort Paris Disney Parks in Asia Disney's Vero Beach/Hilton Head Non-Disney Theme Parks & Attractions More information: About MouseSavers Frequently Asked Questions Trip Reports and Articles Links Testimonials Privacy Policy & Legal Stuff Contact Mary Working with a Travel Agent The amount of research necessary to plan all the details of a Disney vacation can be too time-consuming or even intimidating for some people. If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the options, a great solution is to use the services of a travel agent who specializes in Disney travel. Be sure to ask if the agent has completed the College of Disney Knowledge, a comprehensive course offered by Disney that covers Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line. How it Works Travel agents make their living from a small commission paid by Disney for the resort hotel rooms, theme park passes and packages they book. The agent is compensated by this commission for the time, effort and attention he or she provides to the client. For that reason, it's unfair to ask a travel agent to do a lot of research for you, and then book elsewhere. Likewise, a reputable travel agent will not take over the booking of a trip from another travel agent. What to Expect An agent who specializes in Disney travel should be able to provide you with accurate information, including pricing, for Disney resorts, theme park passes and packages. He or she will book your trip and seek out the best deals for you -- even rebooking your trip when better rates come up, if possible. Once you book with a travel agent, he or she becomes your single point of contact for all changes in your travel plans -- you cannot make changes or cancellations directly through Disney if you are working with a travel agent. For most people this feature is convenient, but if you prefer to control everything yourself, booking with a travel agent is not for you. Travel agents are generally geared toward long-term planning (1 month in advance or more). That's primarily because it can take 3-4 weeks for them to get the paperwork from Disney once they've made your reservations, and then they have to get that paperwork to you. If you're planning a last-minute trip, it's usually better just to do it yourself. My Personal Recommendation The travel agent I use personally, talk with all the time, and can recommend wholeheartedly is Sue Pisaturo , whose company is called Small World Vacations . She is a Disney Specialist and College of Disney Knowledge graduate. Small World Vacations is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, a special designation given by Disney to its top booking agencies. Sue has contributed to The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World . Here's how the process works. Small World Vacations uses a quotation system that helps them offer the best discounts available and also directs your request to the best agent for your needs. Y ou submit a request for a price quote through their web site. Based on your needs and your location, Sue partners you with a specific agent who will work with you right up through the time of your trip. (Sue is located in the Northeastern US, but she has agents around the US and works with clients around the world.) The agent will contact you by e-mail with your quotation and provide you with a toll-free number that allows you to reach her directly and discuss the details of your vacation. From that point on, your contact will be one-on-one with the agent and will be highly personalized. Sue's agents are extremely knowledgeable about Disney travel and wonderful to work with. They are very oriented toward saving you money and will constantly monitor your reservation to make sure you are getting the best available deal. They understand and use the various discount codes that may be available, and they know all the best tricks for maximizing your time and money when planning a Disney vacation. You will always receive helpful planning information and literature when you book with Small World Vacations . There is never any charge for their services. They often offer special gifts and incentives as well. To see Small World Vacations ' current Walt Disney World promotions, click here .
